The short answer: dorriemunhall.com.
The medium-length answer: The domains where Dorrie’s blogs live (denver-rrc.com and denver-rrc.org) expired unexpectedly. Without going into details, I’ll just tell you that renewing those domains is going to be a pain in the ass, so we bought dorriemunhall.com. So, Dorrie’s personal blog is now at dorriemunhall.com. The Restaurant Review Club blog isn’t back up yet, but it will be shortly.
The long, detailed answer: I’ll save that for another day.

Free to any home: Gink, an 18-year old, female, satanic, mean-ass siamese demon that pisses on rugs, vomits everywhere, wails constantly and spits fire. Not safe with other pets, small children, adults or the elderly. Declawed, but its claws are almost fully grown back. Eats live hamsters. Spayed. Current on all vaccinations.
This poor, old curmudgeon has been with Dorrie (and now me) for more than a decade, but her age and poor disposition have done her in. I’m taking Gink to the vet this afternoon for a date with the “big sleep” unless someone in a drug-induced bout of sympathy claims her.
She has not been happy with the new addition to the family and has taken on urinating on bathroom rugs and anything she can find in Anna’s room. We’ve had to keep every door to every room closed for the last three months to keep her away from her favorite marking areas. It doesn’t help that she vomits every other meal onto the carpet and we’re spending a fortune on Woolite carpet cleaner.
She’s always been an unfriendly and unapproachable cat. Dorrie adopted her from the Humane Society and without Dorrie, this cat’s life would surely have ended long ago. She’s had an otherwise good life for a nasty cat that will not tolerate humans. Nevertheless, putting a pet down is hard no matter what the circumstances are.
I’m sorry, Gink. I really am.
